From the journey of senior executives to issues of gender and data bias, each month, we’ll discuss one recently released book, and add a new one to the list, so you'll be able to plan ahead.
Our first four books were recent releases that had been very well received. Together they gave a sense of the books we would read: the first followed the journey of a senior executive in a given company and industry; the second book looked at issues of gender and data bias; and the third and fourth addressed important geopolitical and economic trends.
In 2024, we'll focus on the new drivers of competitive advantage in the digital era, while also dealing with new ways of using technology more effectively. We will also examine how organizations can maximize the talents of diverse minds and protects the wellbeing of everyone.

To be a successful business leader in today’s world, you are expected to deliver societal value as well as financial value – not one at the expense of the other. Lucy Parker, co-author of The Activist Leader, and Heather Cairns-Lee, Affiliate Professor of Leadership and Communication, discussed the key learning takeaways from the book.
On 25 January, Affiliate Professor of Leadership Katharina Lange interviewed Dovev Lavie, Professor of Management at the Department of Management and Technology of Bocconi University, about his book The Cooperative Economy: A Solution to Societal Grand Challenges, which offers an alternative economic system based on prosocial behavior as a solution to societal grand challenges.
IMD Professor Albrecht Enders was joined by Atif Rafiq, author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Decision Sprint, as they introduced breakthrough methods for solving the unknown on the path to innovation, creativity, and business growth, while avoiding bureaucracy and stagnation.
After we discuss a book, we will add one to the list, so that you can plan your reading for the next few months.
